Emerging Church theologian Dwight Friesen — the man who invented the term “orthoparadox” — has just posted the news of an incredible course he’ll be teaching with S3K Emergent Working Group member Rabbi Dov Gartenberg:

Rabbi Dov Gartenberg and I met through Synagogue 3000, he and I will be team teaching a Hillel Foundation class in May at University of Washington and Panim Hadashot sponsored by JConnect.  We titled our class: Seeking Common Ground: A Conversation with a Rabbi and a Pastor On Religious Identity and Belief in a Pluralistic World.

It’s a rare opportunity for young Christians and Jews to engage in conversation about religious identity and faith in a world of diverse choices and religious contentiousness.

Our themes will be:

Does my religious identity or lack thereof help or deter my relationship with others in a diverse society?
Beyond God on my side: Does a sense of religious choseness make sense in our times? (Post-evangelical, post-insular Judaism)
What is religious conversion in pluralistic world?
What does it mean to affirm your faith tradition in a world of multiple ‘truths""?
Can secular and religious people find common ground?
